General Meeting: Wednesday, May 21 at 10 am at Sally Creek Community Centre

Getting to Know You: Betty Mason

Speaker: : The Woodstock Choralaires, Woodstock’s Ambassadors of Song, have been singing since 1966. The choir’s newest director, Lorinda Van Wyk, MA, B. Mus. (Hons) immigrated to Canada recently from South Africa. The choir is honoured to have her leading them. At our meeting in May you will get an opportunity to experience Choir! Choir! Choir! with Lorinda. You won’t want to miss it. Bring your singing voice and be prepared to have some fun!

HELP!! Our photographer, Ann Gun-Munroe, is looking for someone to step in for her when she can’t attend a meeting. All you need is a phone. Please talk to her or any member of the management team if you feel this is something you could do.

We are still looking for members to head up the Program Committee and Special Events.

Welcome to Our Woodstock Probus Ladies Club

Special Events

Our final meeting in June has been planned to be a light-hearted, social time. It will be on Wednesday, June 18 at 10am. We will be playing spring bingo and there will be special refreshments and door prizes. There is NO COST for this event. Please note that we will not be able to use Sally Creek for this event, so we will be at South Gate. We know that parking continues to be a problem, but you can be dropped off at the door if you have mobility issues. We look forward to seeing you there to wrap up our Probus year.

We have had a lot of correspondence since the last meeting that we have been requested to share

We are researchers at the University of Toronto and are conducting a nationwide "Great Canadian Aquarium Survey" to understand what plants and animals Canadians keep in their home aquaria. This anonymous survey takes approximately ~10 minutes and will ask you about the species you have at home.

If you would like to fill out the survey, please visit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LP8KSTS

This survey is a follow-up to the 2012 Great Canadian Aquarium Survey and will help us understand trends in aquarium ownership over the past 10+ years
